Mr. Cormac O'Rourke:

Our mandate is definitely a matter for the Government and not really a matter for me. It is certainly well beyond my competence to talk about the concept of a State construction company.

Construction costs are an issue for everyone in the industry. I outlined in my statement where we potentially see how we could help to drive them down. My understanding is that in cost rental the more we drive those construction costs down, the better the deal will be. That is our role and the Minister has outlined a target price for us in Housing for All.

In relation to Shanganagh, my understanding is that the numbers for social housing, affordable and cost-rental units have been set. There are to be 200 social homes. I think they are set. I do not know if Mr. Coleman wants to comment on whether there has been any change since he briefed me on that.
